Present DayToday the Aborigines are in trouble. Many have left the
their traditional lifestyle, and have moved to suburbs. There is a 40% unemployment
rate in many Aborigines populations, in part because Aborigines are widely
discriminated against which causes some people not to hire them. Even the
police and government discriminate against aborigines. In many places bars
are segregated into different parts for Aborigines or Aborigines aren't
served at all. Some progress was made recently when an Aboriginal woman
was voted into Australia parliament. But like the similar situation with
African Americans in The United Sates recent history, Australia still has
a long way to go before Aborigines have equal rights. The Australian government
should give land back to an Aboriginal person who wants to live the way
his or her people were before the British arrived.
